 Casio Watch ReviewJan 23, 2009
By RevKab
This is your bare-bones basic electronic watch. Nothing particularly fancy, not a lot of whistles and bells - just what I was looking for. That being said, this is my second purchase of this particular watch. I bought the first one 6-7 years ago back when I was in construction. I wanted a nicer looking watch with a metal band that would look nicer when dressed up, but I prefer the digital ones because they keep perfect time. I literally wore the old watch out - my fault, not Casios - and have now purchased it again. The new one is just like the old one. It keeps flawless time, looks really nice, and was so inexpensive.
I simply wanted a nice looking digital watch that had a nice slim profile and kept excellent time. I didn't care for all the other fancy frills or features, all I want a watch to do is keep time. I hope this watch is available in another ten years (I no longer do construction) so I can replace this one when it wears out. Maybe I'll just go ahead and purchase another one now just in case.

 worst band everMar 12, 2009
By edelweiss
Chinese-made digital Casio, chrome face, mineral crystal, stainless back, stainless adjustable band, day + date (no month), 12hr/24hr, alarm, chrono/split. Really bright blue backlight ("electro luminescence") egaged by pushing the Light button.
The watch itself has a cool unique face, and is functional - in a retro, 1985 way.
Too bad I can only give it 2 stars because of the band, which actually looks nice from the outside - but the underside is very rough, with unfinished edges, and catches arm hair easily. It's so uncomfortable I am not able to wear the watch. Because of the special case design, you can't just swap it out for another without it looking strange or not fitting right.

Epicurean watchApr 12, 2011
By Guile
Nice, inexpensive watch. Looks very nice on the wrist, a little small, but I don't have huge wrists so it looks fine to me. I'm not a big fan of the "huge watch" craze, anyway. I don't share most other reviewers' sentiments about the band -- it seems as solidly built as the rest of the watch, is relatively easy to adjust without tools, and looks good. Features on the watch are easy to use and easy to set. The price actually went down a few bucks after I ordered it, and even then it was still the lowest price I could find with free shipping (ordered from Amazon). The band pulls a little at the arm hairs, but it's not a huge problem, and no more than any other metal-banded watch I've owned. If you need a nice simple feature-laden watch that looks good and has a cool retro look/feel, get it. They've been making this model for decades now, and it still sells, for a reason.
Also: I ordered this one over the A158W because the backlight is much nicer. The whole thing illuminates, whereas on the A158W theres only a small light on the side and it's not as effective. For a few extra bucks I think it's worth it.

 A Good Basic Digital WatchJun 28, 2011
By AAA
I had a watch very similar to this one a few years ago. I don't recall what happened to it. This one is a good buy for the money.
Features I Like:
1. The band is a perfect fit
2. It has a 24 hour clock
3. Resists water until the battery is changed (That was true of my former watch)
4. The backlighting is bright. Can read it in the dark
5. Looks good
Features I don't like
1. Alarm is barely audible

Return the classicNov 05, 2010
By Mike
I bought the watch for my son. A nice thin classic old style watch. The edge of bracelet is rather sharp or not smooth I guess it is what you get for the price. Things that disappointing is that the electro luminescence doesn't stay on a few second when the light button is pressed, it is only on when it is pressed. The second thing the bip sound when pressing the button can not be turned off which mean my son can not use the stop watch during exams.
